Light up the town….

Houston, like most towns in the USA are lit up at night year around. This time of year, Christmas time, many homes and businesses add lights to brighten our nights even more. I decided to not post Christmas lights for what lights up my town, but to show the atmosphere that is around us all of the time. This particular place is a about 10 miles from home, (Patty’s house) and a great place to go at most times of the year for a hamburger and a beer. The Fountains, on the Southwest Freeway at Kirkwood, has a string of restaurants along a man-made pond. Lots of lights, outside seating, warm air, high humidity nearly all year round, blasting music muted by the water and humidity and more bright lights, being absorbed into the atmosphere, makes it just right for a stroll along the water’s edge.

I love light on water at night, it's always such a calming effect. Really like the last shot, I can picture myself strolling there. Excited about Christmas, putting the trip to the back of my mind until that is over.

Welcome to Flowers and More

2013 - I am now back in the USA and living in Houston, Texas. You can't read the early post without realizing that I was in Brasil for Camillo. I will miss Camillo as my friend, travel companion and guide. As I change 'Flowers' will also be evolving, adapting to my new old life. I will try to guide its changes but it will be an adventure for both you and me as what all this change will means.

History:

2007-2012, Although I live in Brasil, Camillo and I have traveled in North America, South America and Europe extensively. I always take copious photos. I love flowers and gardens, and beautiful spaces. I want to share with you life in Brasil and share my photos. I hope you enjoy them and send me comments about your experiences.

About Me

"Tiny Steps" is my second blog. Its purpose is not yet clear, but lurking in the back of my mind is the possibility that it will give voice to the many changes in me personally and to my life as I adjust from life as an expat in Brasil to a widow, a late in life single. Also lurking is the thought that this blog will help bring back my love of photography, of writing just for the joy of seeing the words laid out and to the sharing of both to my friends from "Flowers and More"
